The Cancellation Friction Index

How hard is it to cancel Fortune?

Fortune scores 83/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the us — a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), email.

Last reviewed 2026-06-16 · Documented-Policy tier · grade B

Fortune subscriptions auto-renew after the initial term and charge the payment method until the subscriber cancels. Cancellation is self-serve: log in to My Account, open Subscription Overview, and choose Cancel Subscription; subscribers can also email [email protected]. Annual subscribers receive advance notice of the next-term rate plus cancellation instructions, and turning off auto-renew stops future charges without reversing prior ones. Refund terms differentiate by plan: annual plans receive a refund on undelivered issues if cancelled mid-term, while monthly plans receive no refund. Access continues through the end of the paid period, and there is no pause option.

How to cancel Fortune

  • Channels: online (self-serve), email
  • Official cancellation page: https://fortune.com/terms-and-conditions/
  • Pause/freeze: not offered. No pause/hold option documented; cancellation stops future auto-renewal charges.
  • Refund policy: https://fortune.com/terms-and-conditions/
  • Account/data deletion: Data rights handled under the Fortune privacy policy; no self-serve deletion tied to the cancellation flow. https://fortune.com/privacy-policy/

Evidence

Scope & fairness

This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
